ALLY PALLY ALLOTMENTS ASSOCIATION
AGM 20th July 2019
TREASURER’S REPORT
ACCOUNTS 1st April 2018 - 31st March 2019
The accounts show a trading surplus of £2,174.
This is reflected in an increase in Net Assets (£16,935) over the previous year (£14,761).
This is largely due to the efforts of dedicated teams of volunteers and excellent attendance at the 2018 plant sale which generated a surplus of £2,150 and the monthly cafe which generated an annual surplus of £850.
We also received £900 from the final wind up of CHADAHS and an increased LBH grant of £1,695 (compared to £966 the previous year).
On the expenditure side the key expenditure was £3,500 on adaptations to the lower gate to make it fully functional and £600 to replace the woodchip enclosure.
The Allotment Shop has been increasingly busy since APAA took full control with total receipts of £4,690 showing a small margin of £392 (= 8%) over costs.
At year end the Current Account had a balance of £10,382 and the Reserve Account £6,469.
